Boy Can this Boy Talk

Carter is up to 10 words from a week ago at his 15 month appointment when we only had 2. His vocabulary now consists of:

mama
dog/doggie
amen (aen)
bubble (buba)
car (ca)
truck (uck)
pop (op)
daddy
cheese
more (mo)

I know that word explosions are pretty common around this age. Tyler never did this however, so its very exciting to see. One of my favorite things is Carter will sing along to The Turtle Song. He sings "buba, buba, buba op". Its so cute to watch. The other night after we said our prayers he also very proudly said "Aen!". The highlight however was when he said daddy. Carter has been saying mama forever but has yet to say daddy. After Young Life last night we put the boys right to bed, as it was already 9:30. Carter had fallen asleep on the way home and then woke up when he changed him. I knew this meant he would play in his crib for a bit before falling back asleep. On the monitor we hear "daddy, daddy, ga, me ba, daddy". Justin was so excited to hear this that he went right to his room to tell Carter that "daddy is here but you need to go to sleep". Now he knows how I felt when Tyler wouldn't say mommy for the longest time.
